  • best quality stills

    I produced a film with lots of old stills and footage shot 720p/24p. I have them in a HD project. The quality of the images are just not sharp. The originals are sharp. I have tried different DPI from 72 to 400 and cannot tell a difference. Any suggestions on how to improve quality

    You'll want to scan the originals with an end-resolution to fit 1280x720 without scaling. Any down or up-scaling will cause the image to look less sharp.

      The files were provided as digital files, 400dpi 4940x 3335. I brought an image into photoshop and resized at 72dpi and resized to 1280x864. There was no noticable quality difference from the timeline/monitor. Did I do this wrong?

        Resizing in Photoshop tends to do pretty well. What you'll want to make sure of is that EDIUS isn't resizing the image. If the resolution is 1280x864, and you're in a 1280x720 project, then EDIUS will scale the image down to fit into 1280x720, which will cause some degradation.

        In Photoshop, locking aspect ratio, resize down so the height is <= 720 and the width is <= 1280.
